Posture and Body Mechanics:  Assess the client's muscle flexibility, joint range of motion, strength of postural muscles, and alignment of spine.  Assess ability to maintain proper position at rest, during movement, while lifting and carrying on the job, and then the home and community.  Instruct in proper posture, lifting, and carrying techniques.  Develop a home exercise program to improve flexibility, strengthen postural muscles, and increase overall cardiovascular and muscular endurance. [Occupational Therapy]

Ergonomics:  Assess the home and work environment, and if necessary, modify work-station, tasks, or job duties to encourage proper body mechanics.

Therapeutic exercise:  Assess the client's posture, range of motion, strength, balance, coordination, and functional mobility.  Develop a therapeutic home or community exercise program with the goal of preventing dysfunction, as well as for improving, restoring, or maintaining normal strength, endurance, mobility, coordination, and motor skills.
